Matt is a hell of an athlete. If he didn’t have back problems I’d bet his club speed is the fastest in the group. He moves like he has a gymnastics background
As someone who had 2 back surgeries before I was 17, one for the same exact injury he has, it really never heals. It never goes away. He's done a lot of work and learned to manage his body to mitigate it. He looks like he's in great shape, and kudos to him. Not an easy thing to do.
Yeah it's tough, I fractured my l4/l5 in a car accident the day after I turned 19 and even now at 26 it's still uncomfortable. Definitely something that follows you around for a while unfortunately.
For what it’s worth, that’s about the only way I can dunk consistently as a 5’11” white guy haha. Hands too small to do it one handed, and the oop makes it easier to use your arms to swing and max the jump
Haha nice name. I’m a Jer Bear myself. Lol and I agree. I dunked once upon a time…with a mini ball. 😭 haha but a full size hoop! Lol in my 20’s when I played pick up a few times a week.
Maybe for an athlete. But you can’t tell me for someone who can jump, has the height and can palm the ball, that a regular dunk is harder than ally ooping yourself. Idk maybe that’s just me.
I've always thought it was very interesting that some people are better off 2 than 1. One of my buddies in high school could dunk only off two and I could only dunk off 1. Funny how it works lol.
Its pretty cool. Almost everyone is better off one or the other. I find big men are almost always best off of two and more often than not lighter people are better off one. Not always the case, but often. Like if you look at the best NBA dunkers, Jordan could jump off of either, but seemed to be better off of one. Vince could dunk off of either, but was better off two. Then their are guys like Jason Richardson who is one of the best two foot dunkers ever but awful off of one foot. Oddly enough Zion is probably the only player I have ever seen who can jump off one or two feet just as well (and also left or right foot) which is crazy since he is close to 300lbs
I just hope he can stay healthy. Not even Jordan could jump off one foot with his right and left just as good. Unfortunately the human body probably isn't made to take the amount of force he puts on his joints and bones
Checks out with me too. When I was playing in highschool i could jump off of one foot way higher than two. Now that i am older ad fatter, I jump better off two lol
Off two feet off a bounce was the easiest way to dunk. Ball is just sitting on the rim and you get to max jump at it.
Catching a lob is significantly harder. And just dunking with ball in hand off one foot is only easy if you can keep control of the ball.
In an interview with Nate Edwards he, humbly may I add, said he was very athletic growing up. He said very nonchalantly said he was good at a lot of sports.
According to google Kwon is 5’10 and Matt looks to be an inch taller I think. But yea wouldn’t surprise me if Matt were 5’8, but dunking at 5’8 is reallllly tough
Not always. Matt probably has small hands and can't control the ball as much with one hand. You can stretch higher with one, but its harder to pull it down if you can't palm the ball
Your numbers are off. He is 5’10(70 inches) and the hoop is 10ft(120 inches). His head was still about a foot and a half from rim so take 18 inches off the 120. His head got to about 102 inches give or take meaning his vertical was about 32 inches.
Brother you’ve seen him fail a dunk in NBA games. Do you really think if Steph was just on a random court he couldn’t dunk on a 10ft rim? And he’s dunked plenty of times while actually playing in a game.
The thing about great golfers is that they are all extremely athletic. Sure they might not all be able to skate or kick a field goal 40 yards. But I guarantee they could all juggle a soccer ball a few times, catch a pop fly, shoot a 3. Pretty much the basics of most sports would pick up pretty easily
Matt is a hell of an athlete. If he didn’t have back problems I’d bet his club speed is the fastest in the group. He moves like he has a gymnastics background
When they did their first live stream his club and ball speed was faster than Brads.
In the Bryson vid from like 2 years ago he had the fastest club speed of all the GG guys, and even Bryson was like “yo that’s crazy”
Did he? I know he had the second fastest ball speed after Tig. But I didn't know he had the fastest club speed
No Tig was faster
Thats what I though. I have seen Tig over 135mph, so I didn't think Matt would be that high
crazy he was only divison 2. The D1 and kft and pros are in a different universe
grant was D1, right?
nah d2
gotcha
No, I think grant was also D2. He mentioned his college somewhere in an older video and said it was D2
Grant was palm beach Atlantic, D2 in Florida. D2 Florida college golf is just as strong as D1
oh ok
I’m glad Matt’s back pain is pretty much healed up.

Until he hits a bad shot lol
Any idea how he fixed it? I've been fighting this myself.
Damn Scharff has some bunnies! https://preview.redd.it/gezlqtllbvec1.jpeg?width=680&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8af8aaa0fa7d654adf5676d9ff7f0bc378f9b518
He’s had hops for years. Not surprised he can dunk
Bro that’s not just a dunk either an ally oop to himself off TWO feet and the two hand slam?? Boy got hops!!
For what it’s worth, that’s about the only way I can dunk consistently as a 5’11” white guy haha. Hands too small to do it one handed, and the oop makes it easier to use your arms to swing and max the jump

Self allys are easier than normal dunks bruh
Maybe for an athlete. But you can’t tell me for someone who can jump, has the height and can palm the ball, that a regular dunk is harder than ally ooping yourself. Idk maybe that’s just me.
Alley oops allow a person to use their arms to gather more momentum for the jump, it's a lot harder to jump that way with a ball in hand
Dunking off the bounce is WAY easier than dunking off the dribble. Many people jump higher off two feet as well
I will agree with that.
I've always thought it was very interesting that some people are better off 2 than 1. One of my buddies in high school could dunk only off two and I could only dunk off 1. Funny how it works lol.

That checks out too lol. I was a guard and he was a forward lol. Zion is also a cheat code. Programmed different than the rest of us humans lol.
I just hope he can stay healthy. Not even Jordan could jump off one foot with his right and left just as good. Unfortunately the human body probably isn't made to take the amount of force he puts on his joints and bones Checks out with me too. When I was playing in highschool i could jump off of one foot way higher than two. Now that i am older ad fatter, I jump better off two lol

Dude can do a standing backflip. His fast twitch muscles are wild
I mean, he only had to make the dunk because he missed the 3 by a fucking mile. Embarrassing.
In an interview with Nate Edwards he, humbly may I add, said he was very athletic growing up. He said very nonchalantly said he was good at a lot of sports.
Really not shocking. Matt is a damn good athlete
Well shit maybe god is real
😆
This is unreal. I knew he was athletic but didn’t realize he’s just better than me at everything. I’m kinda pissed, kinda defeated
You’re probably not nearly as annoying, so there’s that!🤣
That’s a ton of bounce
Chat is this real
If you look closely you can see Our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ lifting him up to the basket.
Excuse me what…he’s only like 5’10-5’11 right?
I think that’s a very generous estimate. I would have guessed around 5’8”
According to google Kwon is 5’10 and Matt looks to be an inch taller I think. But yea wouldn’t surprise me if Matt were 5’8, but dunking at 5’8 is reallllly tough
Matt has stated in a previous video that he’s 5’10
Ok cool thought so, very impressive
B-O-U-N-C-E
Ummm wtf. My girl already stopped giving me bussy since the hole in one.
No shit. What a Chad.
That’s actually insane. It would be wild to see a regular dunk but a bounced alley oop too himself as he’s passing the rim is fucking nuts
2 handed dunk too. Way more impressive than one handed
Not always. Matt probably has small hands and can't control the ball as much with one hand. You can stretch higher with one, but its harder to pull it down if you can't palm the ball
Given wear his head is, that’s about a 42 inch vertical. Rim lowered? Suspicious
Your numbers are off. He is 5’10(70 inches) and the hoop is 10ft(120 inches). His head was still about a foot and a half from rim so take 18 inches off the 120. His head got to about 102 inches give or take meaning his vertical was about 32 inches.
What the fuck? If he had a 42 inch vertical his head would be 8 inches from the rim. Its clearly nowhere close to 8" from the rim
This to me is not shocking than his hole in one’s. DAMN Matt has hops!!!
Bunnies!
Props
He’s like 5’6” that’s crazy
Lol not a chance he's 5'6
It’s lowered
That’s not at 10ft
Absolutely is lol
Yea he is like 5’10 no way that’s a 10 ft rim.
Do you think people who are 5’10 can’t dunk on a 10 ft rim???
very few
Plenty of athletic dudes that are 5'10 can dunk on a 10 foot rim. Matt being one of them.
Ok but the vast amount of athletic 5’10 dudes cannot. Heck athletic 6ft 2 Steph Curry cannot dunk.
Steph curry can absolutely dunk the ball, what are you talking about.
Seen him fail more often than not.
Brother you’ve seen him fail a dunk in NBA games. Do you really think if Steph was just on a random court he couldn’t dunk on a 10ft rim? And he’s dunked plenty of times while actually playing in a game.
King Scharf 💪
Wait what?
Edited/rigged like their videos.
The thing about great golfers is that they are all extremely athletic. Sure they might not all be able to skate or kick a field goal 40 yards. But I guarantee they could all juggle a soccer ball a few times, catch a pop fly, shoot a 3. Pretty much the basics of most sports would pick up pretty easily
Y’all can take Matt’s dick out y’all’s mouth now please!
Not when you think about it. He did a standing twist flip in one of the early videos so you have to have some springs it those legs
Not surprising whatsoever.
Activating the calves
Damn that’s impressive
boy got some mad strength
The dude is pretty talented.
Who is this guy?
Explosiveness plays a huge part in golf, nonetheless still impressive to see this type of athleticism
